Previous 1 2

The film will be the 21st movie in the Bond franchise and Daniel's portrayal is set to take the famous character in a new direction. He will be playing a tougher, grittier and darker Bond in Casino Royale - and the first blond one too! Daniel, who moved to Hoylake after his birth in Chester, has said he was "speechless" to have landed the job as successor to Pierce Brosnan. He said: "I had a couple of Martinis when I found out. "I've been a Bond fan ever since I was a kid and I've got a big pair of shoes to step into after Pierce. "It's a responsibility but it's also a huge adventure and I want to get as much out of it as I can. Story continues ADVERTISEMENT "I've just got to step up and deal with it. "It's not a question of redefining Bond but taking it somewhere it's never been before. "It's a huge challenge and I think life is all about challenges. " It's one of the big ones as an actor. Bond is a hugely iconic figure in movie history. "These things don't come along very often, so why not?" Producers spent two years looking for their new Bond and saw more than 200 actors , ruling out the likes of Colin Farrell, Clive Owen, Hugh Jackman and ER's Goran Visjnic. davidhiggerson@dailypost.co.uk
